I booked Simonstone Hall as my partner was running the Spine Challenger South, finishing in Hawes. I thought the hotel looked lovely on the website photos but they honestly don't do it justice - its even more beautiful in person. The views over the terrace are remarkable and the building has so much character. The welcome on reception was very warm, and we were even lucky enough to get a complimentary room upgrade to a Principle suite which was just stunning, with the best views I've ever had in a hotel room. I checked in on my own whilst waiting for my partner to finish his race, and then we both returned later. Needless to say after 108 miles, my partner couldnt face walking down to the restaurant for dinner, but Simonstone staff couldn't have been more accommodating, cooking a fresh burger for me to take back up to the room for my partner after I'd finished my meal, so that he had a hot meal and to save him walking down the stairs to the restaurant. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, the interior beautiful, and we will definitely be returning for a longer break to enjoy more time at this gem of a hotel
